The Unexpected Cosmology

The Complete Death and Total Destruction of Jesus Christ | #2 He Died Two Times, or “Dying, He Died” - NOW FROM THE SIXTH HOUR UNTIL THE NINTH HOUR, precisely 12 noon until 3 pm in Roman time, Matthew records darkness over the whole land while Jesus hung on the device of His crucifixion. It was about the ninth hour, he wrote, when Jesus cried in a loud voice: “Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani?” That is […]

The Complete Death and Total Destruction of Jesus Messiah -   PONTIUS PILATE washed his hands of the entire affair. The trial of Jesus had likely been conceived by all parties involved, both His accusers and authorities, as a kangaroo court. Jesus was a non-citizen of Rome, which entitled him to no rights before the law to speak of. His accusers therefore were emboldened with […]

Truth or Beauty…? | #2 Saint Jerome: Sacred Souls Severed by the Pagan and Profane - THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSLATING the bulk of Hebrew Scripture into the Latin text we know today as the Vulgate never could erase the guilt of his lifelong love affair with Virgil, Plato, Cicero, and Homer. Like the sarcophagus of Heine’s dream some fifteen-hundred years later, Jerome was unquestionably Hellenized. The church father was simply […]

Truth or Beauty…? | #1 Heinrich Heine’s Eternal Love Affair (and Tug-of-War) with Venus - HEINRICH HEINE WAS NOT WELL. In May of 1848, the German-Jewish writer, known for his lyric poetry set to music by such composers as Schumann and Schubert, suddenly fell paralyzed. Heine would not recover. Further musings were confined to bed, a sickly pulpit for the pen which he dubbed his “mattress-grave,” where a cruel malady […]

“Jesus Wept…” Trapped in the Tomb of the Sleeping Death (the Truth of Lazarus & John 11) - “For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?” (Psalm 6:5)   LAZARUS WAS NOT WELL. BUT THAT’S SOMEWHAT of an understatement. Fact is, Lazarus was dying, and everybody knew it. His sisters Mary and Martha sent a currier from their town of Bethany east across the […]

Micaiah Overhears a Lying Spirit - A HUNDRED and fifty years ago Saul took his own life and now the wicked King Ahab of Israel has asked Jehoshaphat king of Judah if he would agree to join him at Ramoth-gilead for battle. Jehoshaphat is legally related through the marriage of his son to Ahab and Jezebel’s daughter, which makes Israeli business […]

The Tragedy of King Saul & the Necromancer - “THEN SAMUEL TOOK THE HORN OF OIL, and anointed David in the midst of his brethren, and the Spirit of Yahweh came upon him from that day forward (1 Samuel 16:13).” Though we are not intimately told about the judicial sessions going on behind the scene in heaven, the reader who is well informed on […]

On Earth as It Is in Heaven (the Hellenization of the Post Apostolic Church) - IT IS A LITTLE KNOWN FACT THAT THE CELESTIAL HALO, which has adorned the portraits of so many heavenly-residing saints, did not originate with the Christian religion. For this we must first look to the Egyptian Mysteries; to the hidden knowledge of Zarathustra; to the heroes of Homer’s literature; as far-east as ancient India and […]

The Fatal Silence | MYSTERY BABYLON & the Lake of Fire according to 1 Enoch - LONG AGO TWO HUNDRED ANGELS DESCENDED upon Mount Hermon in order that humanity might learn the mysteries of heaven, and then one day, while Azazel, Semjaza, and the lot of their fellow transgressors were sitting around weeping, the Prophet Enoch met them. He had been asked to write a petition on their behalf, that they […]

Our God Is a Consuming Fire - SCRIPTURE DOES NOT INTRODUCE US TO NADAB AND ABIHU as malevolent men. Quite contrarily, they were the eldest sons of Aaron—priests of the one true God. Nadab was heir to the office of high priest. Abihu was next in line. Nobody else but their father and Moses their uncle were given a more prestigious standing […]
